How to watch The Voice
| Way to watch | When | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| NBC | Mondays, 8pm ET | Free over the air with an antenna, or on cable and live TV services that carry your local NBC station |
| Peacock | The next day | Every episode, for catching up |
| Peacock live | Live shows only | Streams the East Coast broadcast live in every time zone, so West Coast viewers can watch and vote as it happens |
On the West Coast, NBC stations show each episode at 8pm local time, three hours after the East. That is fine for the recorded rounds, but votes in the live shows only count during the East Coast broadcast (5pm PT), so West Coast viewers who want to vote should watch on Peacock.
Coaches and host
| Coach | Seasons | Battle advisor |
|---|---|---|
| Adam Levine | 19th season | Alex Warren |
| Kelly Clarkson | 11th season | Ariana DeBose |
| Queen Latifah | First season | Patti LaBelle |
| Riley Green | First season | Carly Pearce |
Carson Daly hosts. It is his 30th season and his last as host: NBC has named Keke Palmer to host The Voice: Celebrity in 2027, with Daly staying on as a producer. John Legend, a coach last season, is not on the panel.
How season 30 works
- Blind Auditions (September 21 to October 6). The coaches listen with their chairs turned away and turn if they want the singer. Each coach finished with 12 artists. New this season, the “First-In” button let the first coach to turn claim an artist outright, once per coach.
- Battles (October 6 to October 26). Two artists from the same team sing one song together and their coach keeps one. Each coach can steal one losing artist from another team, so every team ends the round with seven.
- Cut Week (November 2). Each coach sends two artists straight through, and the other five sing for the last place on the team. That makes a Top 12, and a viewer vote adds a 13th.
- Live shows (six weeks). Performances, voting and results all happen in one two-hour show, with themes including a Dolly Parton tribute, Y2K and TikTok.
- Finale. One artist wins season 30.
After the October 13 episode, Riley Green had used his steal on Kayleigh Mathews (Kelly Clarkson also tried to steal her) and Kelly Clarkson had used hers on Marcus Ladden Jr. Adam Levine and Queen Latifah still had theirs.
